Cassette Players

It's a superb tape deck! But nothing else!

Advantages: high sound quality, diverse functions, record to tape mode, record from tape mode
Disadvantages: usless instruction manual, useless recording programme, not all cables supplied

The sound quality is good, so is the recording quality. The look and design are brilliant and so is the durability! It's an extremly good cassette deck with a level meter indication feature as well as noise reduction and dubbing which are just the start! ...

Review of ION TAPE 2 PC USB

A journey into nostalgia

Advantages: Easy to copy tapes, nice bright sound, easy to use
Disadvantages: Sounds notably flatter than cd players, tapes have been phased out, quite noisy

Review of Sony TCWE475.CEK

Decent Sony for the money

Advantages: Number of features
Disadvantages: Only single deck record, and pretty noisy

Review of Sony TCWE475.CEK

Avoid if you want consistent sound quality!

Advantages: Twin auto reverse. Easy to use. Relay play etc
Disadvantages: Sound quality varies due to badly designed auto-reverse system

This is the worst quality cassette deck I have ever owned. The sound quality can vary slightly each time you play a cassette and it also depends on the direction (auto reverse) and which deck you are using. The problem is the way the auto reverse is ...

Review of Sony TCWE475.CEK

Budget Twin Deck

Advantages: Two Decks, a budget price, Sony name and build, servo controls
Disadvantages: recording in different directions on different decks can end up a bit confusing, a bit clunky in operation, sound is OK

...I needed a twin deck cassette for copying cassettes of piano accompaniments for my wifes singing lessons. I was suprised to find a Sony for this little money. What you end up with is a famous name product with reasonable functionality, no graphic equalise ...
